DRAMATIC STORY
NEW YORK PROSECUTOR HAS
LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN PO
LICE AIDING HIM
ROSENTHAL KILLING AROUSES CITY
Citizens Declare That' Plot To Assas
sinate Gambler Was In Wide
Circulation In Resorts
NEW YORK, July 19 Private de
tectives were brought into the Rosen
thal murder case today by District At
torney Whitman. They were engaged
by a committee of citizens who shared
the prosecutor's dissatisfaction with
the lack of results achieved by the po
lice in tracing the slayers of the
gambler who was shot after making
charges of police partnership with
gamblers.
In connection with the bringing it
of these outside agencies attention
was called to what were declared la
mentable omissions by the police in
guarding against the escape of Ro
senthal's slayers Monday night and
lack of properly directed activity
since.
It is said the story that Rosenthal
was to be killed was in wide circula
tion in East Side resorts Monday night
but that if any report of it reached
headquarters no measures were taken
to protect the gambler.
It was. commented on that six po
licemen near by did not fire a shot or
blow a whistle to stop the murder par
ty after the shooting; that the num
ber of the "murder car" was reported
four different ways all erroneous by
as many policemen while citizens got
it right; that it was left to the Dis
trict Attorney to uncover most of the
important evidence so far available;
that men known to have talked over
the prospective assassination of Ro
senthal the day before it occurred eith
er have not been arrested or were tak
en and let go on small bail, or, in the
case of one, held only because ths Dis
trict Attorney insisted upon it.
The independent course of the Dis
trict Attorney was indicated today
when he summoned Louis Libbey and
William Shapira, owners of the auto
mobile used by the murder party, and
heard them make what may b im
portant disclosures in support of the
theory of connection between the

(Continued on page 4)
LOS ANGELES, July 10. Lincoln
Steffens and District Attorney Fred
ericks faced each other as antagon
ists nearly four hours today in the
bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow.
The question of the rightfulness of
the doctrines expounded by Steffens
that what he designated as social
crimes as dynamiting should be treat
ed instead, subordinated the question
of the guilt or innocence of Darrow.
Introduced by himself at the very
beginning of his cross-examination as
"worse than .an avowed anarchist a
man who believed in Christianity,"
Steffens discussed his economic be
liefs, often disregarding the object
ions of the defense's attorneys as he
did the pointed thrusts of the prose
cutor. Asked in redirect examination what
he meant by his- reply as to his be
liefs, Steffens declared that he was
worse than an anarchist in the sense
that he was more radical, for while
anarchy demanded justice, Christian
ity demanded love and charity in ad:
dition.
Lincoln Steffens, magazine writer,
continued on the witness stand in the
Darrow trial today, Earl Rogers, chief
counsel for the defense, directing his
examination.
Steffens' testimony throughout out
lined his personal efforts to secure an
agreement that would end the trial of
the McNamara brothers for dynamit
ing the Los Angeles Times building.
He explained the connection of Clar
ence Darrow with the negotiations for
the conclusion of the case; told of
his interviews with leading business
men of Los Angeles to secure their
consent to a plan for the brothers to
plead guilty, and recounted Darrow's
insistence throughout the entire ne
gotiations that both men, if possible
should be saved from the gallows, ar
guing that one "victim" to the state
was sufficient.
Steffens' testimony furnished one of

10
DAYS FOR DEFENSE
WASHINGTON, July 10. Sitting as
a high court of impeachment, the Sen
ate today gave Judge Archbald of the
commerce court until July 29 to pre
pare his defense to the charges
against him.
Indications are that the senate de
sires to push the trial to a conclusion
before the adjournment of the pres
ent session.
After Archbald's defense is in, the
house prosecutors will be given until
August 3 to reply.
Attorney Worthington, for Archbald
stated today that the jurist would
plead not guilty.
Archbald's name was thrice shouted
aloud by the sergeant-at-arms when he
entered the senate chamber. Attorney
Worthington then announced the jur
ist s presence and presented a writ
ten request for a reasonable time to
formulate a defense.
Senator Clark, Wyoming, moved
that Archbald be ordered to reply by
July 24 but the date was later chang
ed to July 29. Even to this Worthing
ton objected requesting 20 days. Con
gressman Clayton tnought four or five
days would be ample for the house
prosecutors and on his statement Aug
ust 3 was set as the time limit when
all pleadings, including the house pros
ecutors' reply to Archbald's answer,
should be presented.

Dr. C." H, Chapman To Deliver An Ad
dress In Morning Gladstone
Club Finally Loses
Game
Unconsciously disproving the gen
eral American theory that the English
man has no sense of humor and at
the same time driving some good common-sense
conclusions into his audi
ence of more than 2000 persons, Dr.
William Spurgeon, the well-known
London minister, Friday afternoon
convinced his. American brethren that
he knew a few things about "Married
People and People About to Marry."
In semi-humorous vein he sympathiz
ed with old maids, advised old bach
elors to "get busy," took a friendly
dig at meddling mother-in-laws, whom
the Britisher declared are largely re
sponsible for the American divorce ev
il, and gave the peevish young mar
ried couples some good common sense
advice along lines of domestic com
patibility. The doctor denounced
club women in no uncertain words., as
partly responsible for unhappiness in
American homes, through neglect of
their families, and hinted to the good
natured women in his audience some
things that might have provoked Mrs.
Pankhurst, his English suffragette sis
ter, and others who have forsaken the
gentle art of cooking for the more
strenuous labors now occupying the
minds of his English sisters. Be that
as it may Dr. Spurgeon was given the
best of attention and his excellent
talk was enjoyed by all. Dr. Spur
geon gives his farewell sermon Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock on "Moses
the Hero of the Desert."
The climax of the "Shakespeare
Year" came Friday night when Pro
fessor Lee Emerson Bassett, of Stan
ford University, who has had charge
of the Shakespeare work at the pres
ent assembly and has had the eager
interest of several hundred Portland
women interested in the great auth
or gave a recital of "Hamlet" which
was one of the treats of the
present session.. He impersonated all
the characters of the play and so re
alistic was his acting that even those
